Nest Protect
Temporarily unavailable.Safety letter from the CEO >
Notify me when it's available:
We all know why smoke alarms are torn off the ceiling or missing batteries: because every time you make stir-fry, the smoke alarm cries wolf. Or just as you're falling asleep, you hear a low-battery chirp. They've become annoying. And that's a safety issue.
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), almost two-thirds of US home fire deaths happened in homes with no smoke alarm or no working smoke alarm.
So we made something new. Meet the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.
We made a smoke and CO alarm you'll love, because hating it is dangerous.
Before turning on a loud, howling alarm, Nest Protect gives you an early warning we call Heads-Up. Nest Protect lights up yellow and speaks with a human voice. It tells you where smoke is or when carbon monoxide levels are rising. This gives you an earlier warning if there's an emergency, or allows you to silence Nest Protect if it's just a nuisance alarm, like an overly enthusiastic toaster.Learn about Heads-Up >
No more frantically swinging towels at the smoke alarm to quiet it down. If there's a nuisance alarm, just stand under Nest Protect and wave your arm to hush the alert. As you wave, your hand should be 2 to 8 feet away from the alarm.How Nest Wave works >
Get a message on your smartphone or tablet if the smoke or carbon monoxide alarm goes off.
Nest Protect constantly monitors its batteries and sensors. If the batteries are low, you'll get a message on your phone.
You can get new batteries long before an annoying, low-battery chirp jolts you awake at 2am.
Nest Protect helps you prepare for an emergency with our What To Do feature. You can enter an emergency contact and when something goes wrong, you've got a plan.
"Emergency. There's smoke in the bedroom."
In addition to an alarm sound, Nest Protect speaks to you with a human voice. It tells you what the problem is and where it is. And if you have more than one Nest Protect, they connect so they can speak up at the same time even if Wi-Fi is down.
Voice alarms can be important to your family's safety. You have more information when seconds count. And according to a study, children can sleep through a beeping alarm. So Nest Protect sounds the alarm and uses a human voice to help kids wake up.Learn about emergency alarms > See minimum system requirements >
You can't see carbon monoxide. Or smell it. It's a silent killer that causes early symptoms that are easily mistaken for the flu. That's why 39 US states have passed laws that make carbon monoxide alarms as common—and necessary—as smoke alarms.
So Nest Protect constantly looks for dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. You can't see it, but Nest Protect can.Learn more >
If Nest Protect's carbon monoxide alarm goes off, your Nest Thermostat automatically turns off your gas furnace—a possible source of poisonous carbon monoxide leaks.* In addition, the Nest Protect activity sensors improve the Auto-Away feature of your Nest Thermostat.Learn how Nest Protect and Nest Thermostat work together >
Automatic CO shutoff requires an active WiFi Internet connection at the time of the event and relies on having both Nest Protect and Nest Learning Thermostat added to the same home in a Nest Account. This feature is not part of Underwriters Laboratories testing and listing. See How the Nest Thermostat and Nest Protect work together in a carbon monoxide emergency >
Next time you stumble out of bed in the middle of the night, Nest Protect will automatically light your way. You can turn the Pathlight feature on or off using the Nest app.Learn about Pathlight >
Low-battery chirps ever rattle your dreams? Nest Protect has a better way: Nightly Promise. It's a quick green glow when the lights go out that means the batteries and sensors are working. It also means no dreaded chirps at midnight.
If there's an issue, like the batteries need replacing, the light ring will glow yellow. Just wave at Nest Protect and it will tell you what's wrong.
Sweet dreams.Learn about Nightly Promise >

Four From CAA Football Selected in 2013 NFL Draft
RICHMOND, Va. – By the close of Saturday's third and final day of the 2013 NFL Draft, four CAA Football players in William and Mary's B.W. Webb, Richmond's Cooper Taylor, James Madison's Earl Watford and New Hampshire's Jared Smith had heard their names called to play at the next level. The league's four draft selections are the most since five conference standouts were taken in 2010.
One of the program's most prolific cornerbacks, W&M's Webb was selected in the fourth round by the Dallas Cowboys with the 114th overall pick. He becomes the Tribe's fourth draft selection since 2009 and joins a group of seven former Tribe standouts currently on NFL rosters, including future teammate Sean Lissemore who was selected by the Cowboys in the seventh round in 2010.
Webb participated in the Senior Bowl and NFL Draft Combine earlier this spring after completing an outstanding collegiate career. As a senior, the Newport News, Va., native earned All-America honors from the Associated Press, The Sports Network and Phil Steele. Additionally, he was one of the most-decorated players in CAA Football history with nine postseason all-conference honors, highlighted by his selection as the 2012 Special Teams Player of the Year.
Selected to the Buchanan Award Watch List as a senior, Webb earned a school-record 48 starts and finished his career ranked among W&M's all-time top 10 in interceptions (11) and punt return yards (603). In his final year in Williamsburg, Webb totaled 46 tackles, eight pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and a tackle for a loss. Additionally, he averaged 11.2 yards per punt return while ranking third in the conference with 123 punt return yards.
JMU's Watford quickly followed Webb on the Big Board, with the Arizona Cardinals selecting him in the fourth round as the 116th overall pick. He now becomes the first Duke drafted since the Buffalo Bills took Arthur Moats in 2010. Selected to participate in the NFL Combine earlier this winter, Watford is the program's 14th draft selection and the third highest in school history.
The Dukes' top-rated offensive lineman, Watford started all 11 games while also serving as a team captain. The Philadelphia native allowed just one sack on the season while, under extremely stringent linemen grading, grading out 80 percent or higher six times and 90 percent or better twice. Overall, he graded out at 85 percent for the season and had 25 knockdowns while leading an offense that ranked fourth in rushing offense in the league at 209.0 yards per game and 4.6 yards per rush. Watford played in 43 career contests, starting in 37 games that included 35 straight to close out his time in Harrisonburg.
Watford racked up a host of postseason honors this fall, earning top team All-America accolades from The Walter Camp Foundation, American Football Coaches Association, the Associated Press and The Sports Network. He was also an All-CAA Football First Team selection for the second consecutive season.
On the heels of a standout senior season that saw him earn consensus All-America honors, Richmond's Taylor was selected in the fifth round by the New York Giants with the 152nd overall pick. Taylor is now the 49th Spider to be drafted since 1941 and the first since the Buffalo Bills took defensive back Justin Rogers in the seventh round in 2010.
After beginning his collegiate career at Georgia Tech and then joining the Spiders as a junior, Taylor had a breakout 2012 season, earning All-America honors from Phil Steele, the Associated Press, The Sports Network and the Walter Camp Foundation. The Atlanta native was also named an All-CAA Football First Team selection and The Touchdown Club of Richmond's Division I National Defensive Back of the Year.
As a senior, Taylor started all 10 games in which he appeared, totaling 78 tackles, 5.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and four interceptions. Not only a standout on the playing field, he also excelled in the classroom and was named both a First-Team Capital One Academic All-American and CAA Football's Scholar Athlete of the Year.
The Seattle Seahawks selected UNH's Smith in Saturday's seventh round with the 241st overall pick. The Greencastle, Pa., product becomes the 13th player in Wildcat history to be drafted and the first since defensive back Corey Graham went to the Chicago Bears as a fifth-round selection in 2007. A member of the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens, Graham was the program's lone active player on an NFL roster until Smith's name was called on Saturday.
As a senior, Smith started 11 games and compiled 40 tackles, including 26 solo, with a team-leading 10 tackles for loss that ranked fifth among all conference players. The defensive tackle tied for the team lead with four sacks, forced two fumbles, recovered a fumble, collected four pass breakups and tallied a program-best three blocked kicks.
Smith closed out his collegiate career with All-America honors from The Sports Network. He was also an All-CAA Football First Team selection and tabbed to the All-New England Team this past season.

Junior Colleges & Technical Institutes >Empire Beauty School
22 W 34th St, New York, NY | Directions 1000140.749173 -73.986306
Neighborhoods: Midtown, Koreatown
DO NOT GO HERE AT NIGHT! UNSUPERVISED STAFF!! – I was going to a student by the name of Janeaa, and she did a beautiful job. She'd been doing this since October. However, on the last visit in February, she decided to just completely butcher my hair! I mean, I cannot do anything with it, that's how bad of a job she did.. There was no supervising teacher. I would not have minded if i hadn't been going to her. It took me a year to grow out my hair to one length, and in one fell swoop, she messed it up. She almost made it into a mullet. To this day, 3/29, I still cannot do anything with it. She tried covering it up with a curling iron!! They need a supervising teacher to come over and see what the students are doing before they take it upon themselves to do whatever they feel like doing..regardless that it might cause us humiliation.
Just Ducky! – I only had $20 dollars in my pocket and a job interview the next day. But I wasn't going to get ahead if I didn't look good. So I went here.
I was simply blown away. Winston did an AMAZING JOB. He was able to use his beak to hold the blow dryer, while using both his wings to totally fluff out my hair into a magnificent, confidence-getting Farrah-flip. He used his webbed feet -- something I'd find disgusting if done by a human, but somehow okay since it was a duck -- to really work in the finishing gloss at the end. He was dedicated. And he refused the money -- all he asked was that I run to the Duane Reade and grab him some mini bagels. I was happy to oblige.
If you can get Winston to do your hair -- do not hesitate!
Horrible Service – I went a few months ago because a friend had gone there for school and said the salon was great. My previous cut was grown out and needed a refresher. The girl i had did an ok job. She seemed a little unsure and was asking the instructors questions, which I prepared myself for. The 1 instructor was professional and was very personable. The other was the total opposite. First, she totally ignored me and told the girl that the cut I asked for would be horrible for me (even though that was the cut I had already) and that my face was too fat as she looked me in the eye. Second, said the customer never knows what they want and don't listen to them. I'm a trainer for a customer service based company and I would NEVER say that to my employees. If this is how this school teaches their students to behave in the real world, I suggest you better run away from this place. The last straw was the lady at the front desk kept insisting that my handwritting is horrible in the middle of me paying. It's not my fault if you don't know the difference between an "o" and "a."
Complete horror – I am visiting NYC from Miami and needed a quick wash and blowdry. I searched on my iPhone for nearby places and found this place as the closest. I walk in and I was very plesantly greeted. I told them what service I needed and the lady that called me in put me in a chair and started washing my hair. She did a great job with that but when I was put in the chair for the blow dry the horror began. I clearly explained to her to use a round brush to make the ends curly. Im not sure if she had ever seen a round brush before and she had no idea how to use it. I asked one of the instructors to guide her since she was having servere dificulties but the instructur did not say or do much. After almost 45 min she was almost half way through and I was at this point very frustrated. She then tangled the brush in my hair and had to tear it out with her fingers and that put me on the verge of a nervous breakdown. I told her as polite as I could to "STEP BACK AND LET ME FINISH MYSELF!!" No instructors came to her assistance so I ended up doing my own hair.
I did not think that a wash and blow dry could be such an impossible task for someone!! I left the place with my heart pounding and my mouth completly dry! What a horror day!
not a good idea – I would only recommend this if you happen to be one of the 5 people in the world that likes going to the DMV... That is what this experience was..the dude that cut my hair had never cut a mans hair before or even his own... He washed my hair for 45 min because he was scared to cut it, then the nice manager lady tried to help him at the end, after 2 hours and then everybody just stopped and said it was done... They then followed me in to make sure I would pay the 5 bucks and then he hovered around for a 2 dollar tip.. I felt bad for him ... Over all it was an experience but I will go to a regular barber for 15 bucks and 30 minutes over 8 bucks and 2 (scared) hours ..the funny thing is I still had to have my girlfriend finish the back and sides !!! Overall stay far away unless you love to torture yourself!
Really great experience – Ok. I've had my hair cut by the same person for years. But it was an emergency situation and someone suggested that I try out the student salon. It was a great experience and not only am I crazy happy with my cut, I'm definitely going back.
I'm not gonna say it was a salon experience- but they're students. The girl who cut my hair came out to the front, was really sweet and professional, we talked about what I wanted and she took me to the back. She was really cautious and slow- the cut took over an hour. She spent a lot of time on things that go quickly in real salons like washing my hair and making sure the cuts were even. But the cut turned out great and there are instructors coming around making sure you get what you want. It's not the same as going to a salon where you know you're getting quality. This is a gamble, and I'm sure some people walk away unhappy. I think if you're clear about what you want and you don't have impossible expectations, this is a great experience and it's definitely on budget.
Try it- it's so cheap and it's nothing you can't fix. Besides you give the students experience and you get to chill in a great environment full of amazingly fantastic people who really love what they do. Ask for Erica S- she'll do an amazing job.
bad technique – I had THE worst hair cut ever... To begin with, they ran out the hot water when she was washing my hair (she told me that it happens often!) and they don't use a towel to dry your hair - just paper towel (she told me that's a sanitary reason). And the person who dealt with my hair didn't know what she was doing at all, she needed her teacher's help from the beginning to the end. My hair is so uneven, I look like a ten year old kid now. I ahd to go fix it somewhere else... Don't go.

"Sabie and Bob Wilson"
Date Range:
04/02/2013 To 04/02/2013
When I was born, my sisters were away at boarding school and after they graduated they went on to college. So although I had two sisters, they were nearly grown when I was little and I grew up feeling more like an only child. I was always perfectly content playing on my own. I had a big imagination…one so big that my two best playmates grew out of it. Their names were Sabie and Bob Wilson. They lived in the big yellow house with me and were at my beck and call. They traveled with me and happily played whatever games I devised. My own "play name" was Judy Bowla. The Judy part came from mom's hairdresser and I'm not sure where the Bowla part came from, I think the word just sounded nice to me. But I remember I specifically spelled it B-o-w-l-a. It was a nice round word. I named Sabie after a Japanese boy my mom had been friends with when she was young. They had worked together at a drive-up restaurant called the Toot-n-Tell. She had a photo of him holding a rose and smiling at her. He and his family were taken to an internment camp at the beginning of World War II and mom never saw him again. And Bob Wilson, I have no idea how I came up with that name, but it was never just Bob, it was always Bob Wilson. Sabie and I got along famously, but Bob Wilson often annoyed me. He always seemed to do things wrong. Once, we took an imaginary trip to San Francisco for a picnic in Golden Gate Park. Well, Bob Wilson forgot the butter and we couldn't have a proper picnic. I was so angry with him that I flushed him down the toilet. That night when dad got home and asked me how my day was, I told him I'd flushed Bob Wilson down the toilet. For the next several days, dad would ask me if I'd seen Bob Wilson and I'd say, "No, he's still flushed." Mom and dad seemed quite calm about my imaginary friends. They'd often ask about them and I'd report all our activities. I don't know exactly at what age I grew out of my imaginary friends, but they gradually disappeared from my life. I recognized that they were gone and remember feeling slightly sentimental about them—like they were old friends who had simply moved away. Years later, after mom had died, dad went to a dinner party with a woman he was dating. She introduced him to a man named Bob Wilson and as dad shook the man's hand he started chuckling and couldn't stop. Dad finally said, "My daughter flushed you down the toilet." The poor man was very confused until dad finally composed himself and told Mr. Wilson the whole story. Dad called me the next day…he couldn't wait to tell me he'd finally met Bob Wilson.

Big KRIT – Voices LyricsFollow
[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T.]
Wake up to the sound of a million horns
Jesus piece, ruby red, diamond in the thorns
Say a prayer for the jammed and the one that's gone
I might've missed my nigga Wake but still I mourn
Did it big in the club with my cash out
But dealing with a lot so I drunk until I passed out
Went abroad, met a broad with her ass out
Her concern was to earn like "nigga, what your cash 'bout?"
In the VIP on my tip with a glass out
We live a paparazzi life, what's your flash 'bout?
In a mattress in the ceiling, what's your stash 'bout?
In case I had doubts
[Hook: Big K.R.I.T.]
I got these voices in my ear
They tell me get up, get up, get up
I got these voices in my ear
They tell me wake up, wake up, wake up
I got these voices in my ear
They tell me keep runnin', keep runnin', keep runnin'
I got these voices in my ear
They tell me get money, get money, get money
[Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.]
What if a dream was all you had?
And life ain't fab, you can't throw it in the bag
Niggas ain't real, hoes ain't shit
My hand-me-downs was too big, they buying clothes that don't fit
I'm like, it was more fame than the credit
Feeling like my whole life I've been trying to be the freshest
Respected, in a world full of kings
You pathetic, if you can't buy the finer things, before you exit
The very moment that you got it: "I swear my biggest fear is that I'll die nobody"
Forgotten, when I was really at my best
Seems like nothing left
[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T.]
Lately I've been feeling like fuck it
Heaven's in my face, but Lord knows I can't touch it
Plus I heard the angel wings was kinda heavy
Scared to put 'em on my back so I threw 'em on a Chevy
Death knocking on my door, I can get it
Looking through the peephole in case I ain't ready
Fuck this rap shit, yeah I said it
On the road to the riches ain't no telling where I'm heading
Now I dread it, world ain't what it seems
Enduring all the shit to be king
Praying for tomorrow, there's more time to borrow
Scared, aware, they whisper "never fear"

Publishing Isn't A Job Anymore: It's A Button
from the disruption-at-work dept
Publishing is not evolving. Publishing is going away. Because the word "publishing" means a cadre of professionals who are taking on the incredible difficulty and complexity and expense of making something public. That's not a job anymore. That's a button. There's a button that says "publish," and when you press it, it's done.Now, of course, publishing as a profession means more than just making public, but that is the root of it, and Shirky is absolutely right that that role is changing completely -- and that means that the industries that built themselves up by glorifying their ability to be a gatekeeper in making things public are going to struggle to adapt. There certainly are other important roles, but they're not "publishing" per se.:
In ye olden times of 1997, it was difficult and expensive to make things public, and it was easy and cheap to keep things private. Privacy was the default setting. We had a class of people called publishers because it took special professional skill to make words and images visible to the public. Now it doesn't take professional skills. It doesn't take any skills. It takes a Wordpress install.
The question isn't what happens to publishing — the entire category has been evacuated. The question is, what are the parent professions needed around writing? Publishing isn't one of them. Editing, we need, desperately. Fact-checking, we need. For some kinds of long-form texts, we need designers. Will we have a movie-studio kind of setup, where you have one class of cinematographers over here and another class of art directors over there, and you hire them and put them together for different projects, or is all of that stuff going to be bundled under one roof? We don't know yet. But the publishing apparatus is gone. Even if people want a physical artifact — pipe the PDF to a printing machine.When you think about it, this really does hit on the key point of disruption for so many of the industries we talk about today. The main role that the gatekeepers had was in helping to "make your work public." But that role isn't needed any more (nor is there any real gate any more). You can make anything public that you want and reach the entire world. Of course, there are still plenty of other things -- making it better, promoting it, monetizing it, etc. And all of those roles are very important, but the role of making something public was the only one that really had that gate. And since there was that gate, the gatekeeper could control everything and demand total ownership over the work. That's what we've seen for centuries.
The difference today is that the gates are gone, the need for help to make something public is gone, and those other things -- publicity, improving the product, monetizing, etc. -- can all be done by lots of organizations, rather than just a few. Thus, there is no need for gatekeepers, but (once again), it's all about the enablers. The enablers help make your work better, but still leave you and the work at the center. The gatekeepers stripped your work from you for a pittance. It's a very different world, but it's a much better world for creators -- and it all comes back to the fact that publishing is no longer a job, but a button.

Newspapers Finally Realizing They Don't Have To Use Apple's High Priced Payment Offering, Or Locked Down App Store
from the hello,-html-5 dept
It may be limited right now, but more and more companies are going to recognize they don't need to go through the gatekeeper here. And as alternative means of distribution and discovery become more popular, the key advantage of the official App Store begin to fade away. I would imagine that over time, Apple may be forced to back down on some of its more ridiculous conditions and pricing, as more players realize that they don't have to go that route.

Google As Benevolent Dictator: The Gatekeeper And The Data Collector
from the are-you-scared-yet? dept
The second article isn't just about Google, but talks about how, with various online services, many people are effectively giving up their privacy. This is hardly a new topic, and it's one that's been discussed repeatedly -- often with a nod to the famous Scott McNealy quote from almost a decade ago: "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it." The article touches on a lot more than just Google, but does mention the fact that Google seems to have access to all sorts of data that, when clumped together, could be seen as a violation of privacy for some.
Between the two stories, you can see why there's a growing sense of worry among some about how Google could become dangerous. It has access to all sorts of data about you -- and has the power to make decisions about what you can access, often with no explanation or recourse. Put that together, and you get this picture of Google as the benevolent dictator of the internet -- where it may be using its powers (mostly) for good, but there's plenty of potential that eventually it could turn evil. And, to some extent, it's worth highlighting these issues, so that people don't become complacent about Google's actions. But, there's an undercurrent to these stories that seem to miss out on a few things: if Google really does start abusing either of these "powers," unlike with a dictator, people have pretty easy choices to go elsewhere. Furthermore, as more concerns are raised about any potential abuse, people are rapidly working on technologies that solve both issues -- allowing people to surf the internet much more anonymously, while also routing around censorship. So, while it's not problematic to highlight these potential issues with Google, that doesn't mean that there aren't necessary checks and balances in place.

But Why Does Apple Wants To Take On The Role Of Content Gatekeeper?
from the how-does-this-benefit-anyone? dept
Still, it does make you wonder why Apple is bothering? All it seems to do is piss off people. It takes extra work and effort on Apple's part and it's hard to see who benefits. Plenty of other systems out there allow anyone to develop apps and content, and they get by just fine, often using user feedback systems to make sure that "bad" content and apps get weeded out fast, without any complaints from users. Having Apple set itself up as the ultimate gatekeeper isn't "censorship" -- it's just pointless.

AP: The News Gatekeeper is Dead! Long Live The News Gatekeeper!
from the let's-try-this-again... dept
So, let's go to the details. Thankfully, the AP also published the full text of Curley's speech so we can dig into the details a bit. While the AP reporter's coverage of his speech definitely does capture the gist of it, it leaves out some of the key (and somewhat contradictory) details. So, while Curley says: "Our focus must be on becoming the very best at filling people's 24-hour news needs. That's a huge shift from the we-know-best, gatekeeper thinking" his own plan doesn't seem to agree with that. He later says: "we're coupling those initiatives with strong new efforts to protect news web sites from unauthorized scraping through tighter site protocols and content tagging." Sorry, but it's those protections against scraping that is part of the gatekeeper thinking. He also says: "Enforcement, too, must be a part. What we do comes at great cost and sacrifice, even death. We believe content should have wide distribution. We intend to be compensated for it." and "We have the power to control how our content flows on the Web. We must use that power...." In other words, we're going to restrict access to what we do in order to create artificial scarcity in order to charge for it. Restricting access is what might also be called gatekeeping. It seems like Curley's big wake up call to newspaper execs is really "say goodbye to the old gatekeeper, and say hello to the new gatekeeper."
There are plenty of business models that make sense for the Associated Press, but it's pretty amusing for the CEO of that organization to call for getting rid of the old way of thinking and then outline what's basically the same old thinking.

Red Rock State Park
Red Rock State Park is open 7 days a week from 8 am – 5 pm. Last entry at 4:30 pm. The Visitor Center is open 9 am – 4:30 pm daily. The mission of the park is to preserve the riparian habitat associated with Oak Creek; to serve as an environmental education facility; and to provide limited passive recreational opportunities.
Hiking at Red Rock State Park offers magnificent views of the Sedona area.
Red Rock State Park is a 286 acre nature preserve and environmental education center with stunning scenery. Trails throughout the park wind through manzanita and juniper to reach the rich banks of Oak Creek. Green meadows are framed by native vegetation and hills of red rock. The creek meanders through the park, creating a diverse riparian habitat abounding with plants and wildlife. This riparian habitat provides the setting and the opportunity for the park to offer a focus on environmental education.
Red Rock offers a variety of special programs for school groups and private groups. There are a number of daily and weekly park events. (see below or ask at Visitor Center)
Park facilities include a visitors center, classroom, theater, gift shop, picnic tables, 10 developed trails, restrooms, and group area with Ramada and facilities. The restrooms are handicapped accessible. Camping facilities are not available at this park. The property was acquired by the Arizona State Parks Board in 1986 and the park was opened to the public in 1991. The land was at one time part of the Smoke Trail Ranch, owned by Jack and Helen Frye.

May 4: Lecture Series: Southwestern Rock Calendars and Time Pieces
2 pm. Red Rock State Park will be welcoming Allen Dart back for our first lecture series of the month. Allen will be speaking about 'Southwestern Rock Calendars and Time Pieces'; this lecture will explore the early Native American Cultures of the Southwest including the Mesa Verde culture of the Southern Colorado and Utah, the Chaco Culture centered in Northwestern New Mexico, and the Hohokam Culture of Southern Arizona and their relationship and skills with astronomy. These early cultures developed methods of predicting the seasons through astronomy centuries before the Old World people had settled in the area. These sophisticated skills developed will be explained in Dart's lecture by examining architecture, settlement planning, and petroglyph sites as evidence of early astronomy and calendrical reckoning.
Allen Dart is a Registered Professional Archeologist (R.P.A.), holds a M.A. in Anthropology and has been working in archeology since 1975. He has spent time both working and volunteering for various organizations throughout Arizona and New Mexico. Currently, Dart is working for the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service in Phoenix and serves as the Executive Director for Old Pueblo Archaeology Center in Tucson Arizona.
The program will be held in the Park's theatre at 2:00 PM. Please call ahead for reserve your space; the program is included within the Park's admission fees: $5.00 per adult (14 and up), $3.00 per youth (7-13), and free for children (0-6).

1:00 pm. The park is located at the base of the Mogollon Rim, the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau. The escarpment is over 200 miles long and ranges in elevation from 2,000 to 3,000 feet. Over millions of years of erosion the rim has receded over four miles leaving behind the picturesque features of Sedona. Join our knowledgeable volunteers as they venture out on our trails and discuss how Sedona transformed into what we see today. This is an interpretive experience for both the beginner and experienced hiker, lasting between 2-2 ½ hours and an elevation gain of 250 feet. Please bring water and wear suitable footwear.
May 14: Moonlight Hike
Hikers should arrive at 6:00 pm to check-in before the 6:30 pm hike. The Moonlight Hike is among the most popular interpretive hikes at the Park. Led by a naturalist, it gives hikers the rare opportunity to enjoy the sunset and moonrise from an overlook and return by the light of the moon, while also having the chance to learn about Sedona and its surrounding areas. Verde Valley and park history, as well as archeology, geology, botany, and riparian wildlife information, is also offered by a knowledgeable guide. The hike lasts two to 2 1/2 hours and covers a distance of approximately two miles. Space is limited and reservations prior to this event are required; please call (928) 282- 6907 to reserve your space. A $5.00 reservation fee is required as well as an entry fees upon arrival ($5.00 per adult (14 and up) $3.00 per youth (7-13), and free for children (0-6)). Rangers ask hikers to please arrive approximately 30 minutes before the starting time to insure participation. Program fees are nonrefundable unless the park must cancel the hike after your arrival. Wear suitable clothing and shoes (prepare for cool nights) and bring water, a flashlight and insect spray.
May 25: Lecture Series: Native American Astronomical Practices
2 pm. On Sunday, May 25th Kenneth Zoll will be joining us to talk about the Native American astronomical practices throughout history. The ability to predict seasons was essential for Native Americans in order manage environmental changes, which was vital for survival. Seasonal calendars were the foundation for early cultures for hunting, gathering, planting, harvesting, celebrating, and worshipping. Join us to learn about how the early sky watchers developed systems to synchronize their calendars around celestial events. Kenneth will describe the diverse ways in which prehistoric Native American cultures integrated the stars and their annual events.
Kenneth is an archeology enthusiast, to say the least. He's currently the Executive Director of the Verde Valley Archaeology Center in Camp Verde, a site steward with the Arizona State Historical Preservation Office, an a volunteer docent at many cultural heritage sites for the Coconino National Forest. Kenneth is also a certified instructor in cultural astronomy with the Arizona Archeological Society and has written many popular books on cultural astronomy and rock art in Central Arizona.
The program will be held in the Park's theatre at 2:00 PM. Please call ahead for reserve your space; the program is included within the Park's admission fees: $5.00 per adult (14 and up), $3.00 per youth (7-13), and free for children (0-6).

Self-Guided Hikes
If you prefer to explore on your own, or are not available for scheduled activities, the family-oriented trail system is well marked for your safety and pleasure. Five miles of trails consist of interconnecting loops, leading you to red rock vistas or along the lush greenery of Oak Creek. The Eagle's Nest and Apache Fire Loops are joined together by the Coyote Ridge Trail. Eagle's Nest is the highest point in the park with an elevation gain of 300 feet. The three major loops are connected along the riparian corridor by the Kisva Trail, which also leads to the short loop of the Yavapai Ridge Trail. The Javelina Trail takes you into the pinon/juniper woodlands and back to the other loops. Detail information is available at the Visitor Center. Bikes and horses are allowed on designated routes.

An Objective Scheme for Ranking Halls and Obtaining Criteria for Improvements and Design
Producing a formal means for ranking the quality of concert halls requires that the subjective assessment by experts and listeners be matched to acoustic parameters. Using previous results from Ando and Beranek, the authors propose a statistical scheme to obtain a function that fits the objective experimental data from 17 performance halls, which vary in uses, sizes, building types, and acoustics. Of the many possible acoustic parameters available, it appears that most of them can be reduced to LEV (listener envelopment), RTmid (mid frequency reverberation time), and LFCE4 (early lateral energy fraction). The obtained model based on these parameters, allows for designing and improving performance spaces.

Round trip from EUR 194
Music to your ears
Prague is home to no fewer than 3 opera houses: the National Theatre, the Prague State Opera and the Estates Theatre. Remember to book on time as performances sell out quickly. You can also always go to the Kampa Museum to see its huge collection of contemporary art. The National Museum contains more than 20 million objects, handily subdivided into categories such as archaeology, prehistory and veterinary medicine. Prague is the ideal destination for a city trip, as well as a perfect start for a longer holiday in the Czech Republic. Book a flight to Prague now!
Look at things from the upper side
Prague Castle and Strahov Monastery are built on hills. Not only do they offer lovely views, they are both also known for their rich cultural heritage. For an even better panorama, take the cable car to Petřín hill and its observation tower resembling the Eiffel Tower. This lookout point is 60 metres high, providing unique vistas of Prague and the powerful river Vltava.
Flights to Prague for a unique city trip
Find a cheap ticket to Prague? With KLM, your holiday begins the moment you step onboard.

Add in our many handy extra services (some available for a supplement) and you'll be in the Czech Republic before you know it.
The monumental Prague Castle dates back to 880. It is the largest castle complex in the world and the national symbol of state power. The palaces and churches have been home to countless kings over the centuries, and the resident today is none other than Milos Zeman, President of the Czech Republic.
The impressive Charles Bridge with its sixteen arches is one of the highlights of Prague. The city's oldest bridge is named after Emperor Charles IV, who ordered its construction in 1357 and personally placed the first stone. The bridge didn't acquire its current name until 1870, however. Before then it was simply known as the…
The famous astronomical clock is located on the facade of city hall, and is one of Prague's most celebrated sites. In addition to telling the time, the clock indicates the position of the moon and stars. At the top of the hour the windows open to show figures of the twelve apostles and the square fills with people wishing to…
Next to Prague Castle is Zlatá ulicka, or Golden Lane. This picturesque alley contains eleven tiny houses built as homes for the castle guards. The street was named by Emperor Rudolf II, who was an alchemist in the seventeenth century and commissioned others in the alley to find a substance that could transform metal into gold.
Some say it is the best Czech invention ever: Pilsner! Prague has countless bars located in historical cellars and buildings as well as large beer halls and modern cafés. The traditionally brewed beer is cheaper than water in many pubs, and in Europe's beer capital not a day…

Imagine an automobile with no protection switches and you will be in a vehicle with all of the electric components activated anytime the ignition gets started. Effective switch uses reduces destruction and lower power usage. The Buick Riviera headlight switch is designed to turn main lights on and off.
The Buick Riviera headlight switch is designed as a straightforward electronic device employed to connect a good electrical part towards the power source of the vehicle. To do this, a contact is built in the switch; flipping it onwill send power towards the part and turning the interconnection off will stop the electricity supply to the device.
Problems on the Buick Riviera headlight switch contact and over-use are the prevalent causes of this part's damage. If this switch is already damaged, AC Delco, Beck Arnley, Crown, Febi, and Lucas products will be the best replacement choices in the business.

Advocacy Programs
academic programs
William E. and Carol G. Simon Oral Advocacy Program
Through involvement in a variety of internal and inter-school competitions, students can build the persuasive legal skills needed in the boardroom and the courtroom. These include proficiency in written advocacy, as well as an ability to mold facts into a persuasive presentation, develop intellectual flexibility, anticipate and respond effectively to questions and function well under pressure. Students also gain another necessary quality of successful lawyers: self-confidence.
The Simon Oral Advocacy Program at BC Law is named in honor of the late William E. Simon Sr., former US Treasury Secretary and Chairman of the US Olympic Committee who established the educational and benevolent foundation, and his wife.
Students are able to build advocacy skills throughout their three years. First year students may participate in negotiation and client counseling competitions sponsored in conjunction with the American Bar Association. Role playing exercises are observed and evaluated by members of the faculty and practicing lawyers. Then, in the second year, the intramural moot court competition focuses on appellate advocacy. In the third year of law school, the internal mock trial competition is held and opportunities are available to compete with students from other law schools in various national advocacy competitions. All students are encouraged to develop and improve their advocacy skills by participating in these programs throughout their law school career.
First Year:
Negotiation Competition sponsored in conjunction with the ABA. First semester intramural competition, followed for the winners by Regional competition with teams from other law schools, and, with any luck, the National Competition in second semester. Professors Alan Minuskin and Paul Tremblay are the faculty advisors.
Client Counseling Competition also sponsored in conjunction with the ABA. Intramural competition, followed for the winners by Regional Competition with teams from other law schools and, with any luck, the National Competition in second semester. Professor Evangeline Sarda is the faculty advisor.
Second Year:
The Wendell F. Grimes Moot Court Competition in the second semester is essential for students aspiring to enter interscholastic competition and others who simply want to build their advocacy skills. Designed for second-year students, this internal competition is a prerequisite for selection for the external teams. Teams of two students write a brief for one side of a case and then argue orally before panels of judges drawn from the bench and bar. Multiple arguments insure that students get to argue both sides of the case. The Grimes finals, presided over by a distinguished panel, are the highlight of the year's advocacy programs. Professor Rosemary Daly is the faculty advisor.
Third Year:
The Mock Trial Competition is open to all third-year students. Following the internal competition in the Fall, teams are selected to compete against other law schools in the regional program. Regional winners advance to the National Finals held each year in Texas, usually in the second semester. Trial attorneys Cathy Bennett and Paul McManus are the faculty advisors.
The National Moot Court team participates in, one of the oldest and most prestigious moot court competitions in the country, sponsored by the American College of Trial Lawyers. The team writes a brief on a mock record prepared by the Young Lawyers Committee of the Bar of the City of New York, usually based on a case pending in the Supreme Court of the United States. The New England region holds mock appellate arguments in the Fall, and sends the top two teams to New York City for the finals in January. Professor Thomas Carey is the faculty advisor.
The Philip C. Jessup Moot Court team strives to compete internationally as well as regionally and nationally. Organized by the American Society of International Law, students write briefs on both sides of a legal issue and argue an appeal in a case that could come before the International Court of Justice. The Competition is nearly fifty years old. The National finals are held in Washington, D.C. The International finals are held in different countries each year. Because Boston College is hosting the New England regionals this year, Jessup rules require that our team must travel to another region to compete. Professors David Wirth and Thomas Carey are the faculty advisors, with additional assistance from a recent graduate familiar with the Jessup competition.
The European Union Law Moot Court team is a recent addition to our programs. Last year the team traveled to Madrid, Spain. This year Boston College Law School will host the American Regional rounds. As a result, our team must compete elsewhere. The other regionals are all in Europe. The Competition requires writing a brief, in English and French, and if invited to the oral rounds, the team must argue in both languages. Professor Vlad Perju is the faculty advisor.
The National Environmental Law Moot Court team challenges students to draft a brief and compete in mock oral argument in a simulated appellate case involving a cutting edge environmental issue. This National Competition is held in the second semester each year in White Plains, New York. Cases involve three parties and present the opportunity to argue on behalf of private and public interest clients. Professor Zygmunt Plater is the faculty advisor.
The J. Braxton Craven Moot Court team briefs and argues issues of constitutional law arising in mock civil or criminal cases. The team travels to North Carolina for the Competition. Professor Thomas Barnico is the faculty advisor.
The National Criminal Procedure Moot Court team briefs and argues a criminal procedure problem at a national competition held for participating law students in San Diego, California. Professor Robert Bloom is the faculty advisor.
The Frederick Douglass Moot Court team competes against other law school teams in a competition sponsored by BALSA, which focuses on issues important to minorities. Professor Rosemary Daly is the faculty advisor.
The Saul Lefkowitz Intellectual Property Moot Court team briefs and argues questions of trademark law in a competition sponsored by the Brand Names Education Foundation. The regional competition is usually held in New York. Professor Joseph Liu is the faculty advisor.
Religious Freedom Moot Court
Religious freedom, embodied in the twin Establishment and Free Exercise Clauses of the First Amendment, is one of the fundamental guarantees of the United States Constitution and is a founding principle of our nation. Each year the Moot Court competition, hosted by George Washington University, focuses on a current religious freedom issue that implicates a First Amendment controversy. Professor Gregory Kalscheur, S.J. is the faculty advisor.
First Amendment Moot Court
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution — the cornerstone of American democracy — is the focus of the National First Amendment Moot Court Competition. Recognized as one of the nation's finest constitutional law competitions, this annual event features a current First Amendment controversy. Professor Rosemary Daly is the faculty advisor.
Immigration Law Moot Court
Teams from around the country participate in a weekend of arguments at NYU, centered around an immigration law problem. Professor Daniel Kanstroom is the faculty advisor.

An East Naples man is accused of drug and firearm violations following a domestic dispute at his home Saturday morning.
Around 7 a.m., Collier County sheriff's deputies arrived the home of Robert Anthony Rodriguez in the 5600 block of Whitaker Road, where a woman said she had been put in a choke hold by Rodriguez.
The woman told deputies the two got in an argument when she asked him to leave the apartment, according to an arrest report. Rodriguez then grabbed her from behind and put his arm around her neck, reports said.
While at the home, deputies found three bags of marijuana, a marijuana grinder, an electronic scale, a bottle of Xanax tablets, a loaded 9mm handgun, a loaded 40-caliber handgun and two bundles of cash totaling $2,288, reports stated.
Rodriguez told deputies he was afraid to tell them about the guns because he is a convicted felon. He said he sells the marijuana for three times what he pays for it.
Rodriguez, 22, faces charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm, possessing more than 20 grams, possessing marijuana with intent to sell, possessing a controlled substance, possessing drug paraphernalia and domestic violence battery.

Jumblar is a tool that converts map coordinates into passwords. It hopes to provide increased user security by assuming that it is easier for people to remember a secret location than a strong password, and that a location that could be anywhere in the world is practically impossible for others to guess. By using this property of secret locations, secure passwords can be generated. SCrypt is used to protect user information.
OpenSAML is a portable implementation of the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard for the formation and exchange of authentication, attribute, and authorization data using XML, as defined by OASIS. There are interfaces for a range of languages, including C++ and Java.
Netscape Security Wrapper manages the loading of NPAPI (Netscape Plugin API) plugins and applies simple policy decisions. The intention is to allow administrators to deploy deprecated, unreliable, or unsafe third party plugins while minimizing the security exposure. Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox, and other NPAPI-compatible browsers are supported on OS X and Linux. Use cases include: restricting plugins to certain domains, restricting the use of deprecated plugins to known outliers, allowing internal corporate workflows which use insecure or deprecated plugins without exposing the plugin to the hostile Internet, and allowing multiple outdated plugin versions (e.g., Java) to co-exist for use in whitelisted, trusted enterprise tools.
Google Authenticator Demo is an implementation of two-factor authentication using the Google Authenticator that can be used on your own site or application. It allows you to register a user name and then log in using the information provided by the Google Authenticator. It also works with OATH HOTP compliant hardware tokens.
Shibboleth is a standards-based middleware software package providing Web single-sign-on across or within organizational boundaries. It implements standards such as OASIS' SAML to provide a federated single-sign-on and attribute exchange framework. It also provides extended privacy functionality, allowing the browser user and their home site to control the attributes released to each application.
skipfish is a high-performance, easy, and sophisticated Web application security testing tool. It features a single-threaded multiplexing HTTP stack, heuristic detection of obscure Web frameworks, and advanced, differential security checks capable of detecting blind injection vulnerabilities, stored XSS, and so forth.
iExploder is like a fire hydrant full of bad HTML and CSS code to test the stability and security of Web browsers. It is available as a standalone Web server or CGI script. It continuously feeds browsers bad data in the hope that they will eventually crash. It is designed to run for hours, or even days until the browser crashes.
"TCP Input Text" extracts TCP ports and fully qualified domain names (FQDN) from search results into a .csv file and individual shell scripts for nmap and nc (a.k.a. netcat) to provide assurance of a listening TCP service since the time that has passed of the last crawl performed by the search engine.
TinyIDS is a distributed intrusion detection system (IDS) for Unix systems. It is based on the client/server architecture and has been developed with security in mind. The client, tinyids, collects information from the local system by running its collector backends. The collected information may include anything, from file contents to file metadata or even the output of system commands. The client passes all this data through a hashing algorithm and a unique checksum (hash) is calculated. This hash is then sent to one or more TinyIDS servers (tinyidsd), where it is compared with a hash that had previously been stored in the databases of those remote servers for this specific client. A response indicating the result of the hash comparison is finally sent back to the client. Management of the remotely stored hash is possible through the client's command line interface. Communication between the client and the server can be encrypted using RSA public key infrastructure (PKI).
